Avionics Systems within Saab develops embedded software and electronics for safety-critical real-time systems within the aircraft industry, often with automatic control functions. Our software development focuses on requirements-based software development: requirements engineering, design, coding, verification and documentation of software. We have been involved in the development of this new master programme and feel that this profile is in great demand within the industry.

Avionics Systems develops and manufactures safety critical systems and equipment for demanding applications in fixed wing aircraft and helicopters. Avionics Systems portfolio includes the new generation Head-Up Display System, Mission Computers, Control and Actuation Systems and Communication Management System, among others. We deliver for example hardware and software for JAS 39 Gripen systems, high-lift systems for the Boeing 787 and Airbus A400M, and gyros for multiple military applications. Many of these products are developed in collaboration with other parts of Saab or external partners.

Avionics Systems have more than 300 employees around the world and most of our projects are carried out in an international environment. Saab is a global defence and security company operating in the fields of air, land and naval defence, civil security and commercial aeronautics. We number 14,000 employees and have operations on all continents. Technologically we are leaders in many areas, and one-fifth of our earnings are spent on research and development. Saab is also a company with opportunities. A company where we see diversity as an asset and where you have both considerable responsibility and good opportunities for advancing in your career. But also a company that respects each person’s needs for a rewarding life beyond work.
